Sounds absolutely puny compared to other rock albums of the time.
Instruments sound like they have been recorded separately, in different
rooms. Ginger Baker's powerful drumming is pathetically captured.

I dont know if you've ever listened to RX Bandits, but their production is pretty interesting. They record live in the studio - very few takes, almost no overdubs, etc. They like to make it have a natural feel. So by those standards, the production is actually pretty crappy because they don't finetune all of the different sounds; they just let it bleed. But it really matches the band's overall sound and gives it a unique feel.
